DUBLIN – Christ Church cathedral

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, commonly known as Christ Church, in Dublin is the elder of the city’s two mediæval cathedrals, the other being St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The monument is located in the former heart of mediaeval Dublin, next to Wood Quay, at the end of Dame Street. Christchurch is the only one of the three cathedrals which can be seen clearly from the River Liffey.Following the extensive renovation in Victorian times, while the seriously decayed structure was preserved from collapse, it remains difficult to tell which parts of the interior are genuinely mediæval and which parts are Victorian pastiche. Nonetheless, Christ Church remains a fascinating sampling of surviving medieval and later church building.
